2-3. Feed-Motor Drive Circuit

The printer uses a 4-phase step motor (phase 1-2 excitation) to implement paper feed. The motor rotates through a certain angle each time it receives a pulse from the drive circuit. The following diagram illustrates the excitation method. Figure 2-11 shows the feed-motor drive circuit.
